God bless us everyone,
We're a broken people living under loaded gun,
And it can't be out fought, it can't be outdone,
It can't outmatched, it can't be outrun, no...
Streetart on a wall near the canal - I thought the bricks pattern made it look ever so slightly like 8-bit graphics. Quick snap with the phone camera

If you get to Porth Wen just as the sun comes up the bricks of the old Porth Wen brickworks glow with that lovely warm pinky, orangy brick colour. There must have been a lot of rain over night and the little gully you follow down through the gorse was a fairly rapid stream that I thought might end in a waterfall at the bottom. But it wasn't that bad and I arrived just before the sun started to shed the long shadows and orangey light. I immediately headed for that outcrop of white quartz that rises out of no where and ends in a Durdle Door style archway where it falls towards the sea. I climbed to the top and set up my tripod but realised that with a 16mm wideangle it wasn't wideangled enough to get the three ovens and the main brick building in shot. I needed to move further back. Further back, and closer to the sea the spine of quartz has just one more step, but it is narrow and short and a few feet higher than the rest. I was not at all happy trying to get up on that last point. The vertical drop on three sides is considerable and I managed to get up on top on all fours. But I felt that if I tried to stand up I might over balance. Using my tripod as a third leg I unsteadily rose to my feet, not daring to move in any direction. Carefully I put up my tripod but the space was so small I couldn't spread the legs far and I had to stand in the space between the two tripod legs. I don't suffer from vertigo but boy did I feel wobbly and unhappy there. At Porth Wen brickworks I really was bricking it. I just hope the shot was worth it. Of course I could have made it much easier and safer, and just stitched two shots together from a closer vantage point.
Another up close and macro, this time the bricks of PICA, formerly the old Perth Technical School. Complete with carved tags from 1930 and before.
If you're in Sydney, one exhibition you really must go to is The Art of the Brick at the Powerhouse Museum.
It features hundreds of DC Comics characters all built out of Lego by a chap called Nathan Sawaya and it really has to be seen to be believed.
If you've ever been a fan of Batman, Superman or Wonder Woman, this is the place to go!
In July, whilst in the UK, I had a busy few days building vehicles for the Bright Bricks, Bricks in Motion exhibition. I've presented a few of them in the last few days. This is one of the last: a classic American Peterbilt. As with the other builds, it's scaled 1/20, the same scale as used for Legoland parks. I've built a fair few similar trucks over the years (albeit on a slightly smaller scale), which made this build fairly quick. I finished it in a day.
